| Abstract Title: |
Creating a Nitinol Engine To Study the Thermodynamic Cycle |
| Abstract: |
We have developed a simple Nitinol Engine allowing studying to visualize and study a complete thermodynamic cycle. The engine works similarly a piston, where the force vs. piston position can be measured for the complete cycle, allowing comparisons to the work done by the engine and a measurement of the engine efficiency. This experiment can be used in both an introductory physics laboratory or an advanced laboratory. |
